On Monday the library reopened its doors after being closed for renovations.
Inspired by the rich colours of Autumn in Tenterfield, the new-look library environs incorporate a range of meeting/activity areas, reading nooks, BYO device study spaces, accessible height adjustable public computer desks and a new play inspired kids' area for our youngest members.

When the library closed its doors, at 5pm on June 2, it was planned to be closed for seven weeks to complete the project before it would re-open on Monday, July 24.
While it took a couple of weeks longer than planned, a statement from Tenterfield Shire Council said they were excited to launch the new library and invited the community to join the official opening event on Wednesday, August 16 starting at 10.30am.
The official celebrations will include a sparkling welcome by Gigi our Magical Storyteller, a special guest poetry reading, cake and a free adult's book making workshop in the afternoon with local artist Liz Powell.
Liz's workshop, 'Going down the Rabbit Hole - Recycling Books and Tunnel Book Techniques' starts at 1.30pm until 3.30pm.
Places are limited so contact the library to confirm you place.
With the library now open again, it returns to normal operating hours from 10am to 5pm weekdays.
Kids Storytime returns on Thursdays but with an exciting new twist and in collaboration with the artists from the Make-It Tenterfield Inc.
Make-It Tenterfield has been busy planning and inventing an exciting range of activities for the term ahead so make sure to drop in and join the fun.
